[🍎] Catch And Tame!

1. Advanced Strategy

1.1 Route Stacking

Advanced progression comes from chaining compatible goals in one session: capture targets, breeding prep, and event timing aligned in the same route. Avoid running separate sessions for each goal when they can overlap.

1.2 Risk Budgeting

Set a hard currency floor before attempting low-probability breeding or catching. Endgame players stay efficient by:

1. Setting a session currency floor before risky attempts.
2. Stopping attempts when the floor is reached.
3. Rebuilding reserves through stable routes before retrying.

Avoid "tilt spending" after failed attempts — emotional overspending after losses is the leading cause of long losing streaks.

1.3 Long-Session Optimization

• Time high-value totem use to align with available play sessions so you can run full farming routes during the event window.
• Stop low-value captures during rare event windows (Blizzard, Sandstorm) — use 100% of the time on the event-specific targets.
• Stack capture tools and buff items before activating totems.

1.4 Income Scaling Path

1.5 Key Endgame Priorities

1. Unlock Mountain ($750,000) for Red Panda — core of all Mythic breeding chains.
2. Unlock Underground ($750,000) for Axolotl.
3. Unlock Mystical Zone ($1,500,000) for Kitsune.
4. Unlock Sky Island ($2,000,000) for Cosmic Griffin.
5. Unlock Dragon Island ($5,000,000) for Lightning Dragon.
6. Implement Elite 26 Strategy (13× Red Panda / 6× Axolotl / 7× Kitsune).
7. Apply Shiny + Bloodbound mutations to Celestial Hydra for maximum BPS.

1. Animals / Pets

There are 84+ animals across 6 rarity tiers (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic). Animals generate passive BPS (Bucks Per Second) while in your pen. Sell price varies based on mutation, weight, and rarity.

Animals are obtained through:

• Lasso taming — catching them in the wild
• Breeding — combining two parents for an egg
• Hatching — opening eggs from breeding or Lucky Blocks

BPS scales with mutations (up to 4×) and the Money Boost trait (1.2×). The mount column (✓) indicates natural rideable status; additional pets can gain the Rideable trait via the Trait Machine.

---

1.1 Common Pets (12 pets — BPS 1–14)

Common pets are found in Starter Village, Farm, Forest, and Grasslands. Easy to catch with the default Old Lasso.

---

1.2 Uncommon Pets (8 pets — BPS 3–26)

---

1.3 Rare Pets (15 pets — BPS 10–19)

---

1.4 Epic Pets (17 pets — BPS 14–114)

---

1.5 Legendary Pets (19 pets — BPS 15–102)

Legendary pets have extreme spawn requirements. Many are weather-locked or biome-exclusive.

---

1.6 Mythic Pets (13 pets — BPS 40–250)

Mythic pets are the rarest. Wild Mythics require expensive biomes ($750K–$1.5M); Breed-Only Mythics need multi-step recipes at 0.3% success each.

---

1.7 BPS Reference Summary

Wild Legendary standouts: Pegasus (94), Phoenix (95), Elephant (91), Kraken (80), Void Dragon (75), Cerberus (65), Yeti (55). All BPS values can be multiplied by mutations (Shiny 4×, Neon 3.5×, etc.) and Money Boost trait (1.2×).

1.8 Exclusive Eggs

Exclusive Eggs contain the rarest pets in the game and cannot be obtained through normal breeding. The only confirmed way to receive them is by participating in Admin Abuse events. Watch official announcements and the Discord for these limited windows.

1. Beginner's Guide

1.1 First 30 Minutes

Your first goal is stable capture speed, not rare hunting. Build a repeatable route with low-risk pets so your income becomes consistent before chasing anything rare.

Starting steps:

1. Grab the free lasso from your inventory and head to the nearest animals in Starter Village / Farm.
2. Capture easy Common pets until you reach your first upgrade threshold.
3. Redeem active codes and reinvest rewards into upgrades.
4. Use a short loop through two nearby spawn areas; avoid overextending into difficult zones before your lasso and bag capacity are upgraded.

1.2 Early Upgrade Priority

A clean upgrade order protects you from mid-game stalls. Prioritize upgrades that increase catches per minute and reduce downtime:

1. Lasso consistency first — upgrade your lasso to catch more animals reliably.
2. Storage/pen expansion — increase capacity to reduce return trips and hold more animals.
3. Weather tracking — unlock weather planning tools before expensive endgame items.

1.3 Trait Machine Phase

After expanding your pen at least 4 times, prioritize either a better lasso or the Trait Machine (costs $1,000,000). The Trait Machine lets you sacrifice pets to grant a primary pet useful traits like more eggs or faster hatching, which cuts grinding time significantly by producing more pets more often.

1.4 Common Beginner Mistakes

• Chasing rare spawns too early — a stable economy from Common and Uncommon pets gives faster total progression.
• Spending all currency on one high-risk breeding attempt before building a reliable parent supply.
• Attempting random breeding before you have reliable parent options unlocked.
• Checking code status after redeeming (expired codes waste time).

1.5 Biome Unlock Roadmap (Early to Mid Game)

---

1. Biomes

There are 17 distinct biomes in the game. Starter Village and Forest are free; others range from $25,000 (Jungle) to $8,000,000 (Forgotten Depths). One secret biome (Void Realm) is accessed through a hidden portal. Biomes unlock progressively as you hit BPS milestones.

1.1 All 17 Biomes

1.2 Biome Tips

• Forest: Wolf requires Bone Bait to lure. Forest Wolf and Moon Cat only spawn at night.
• Jungle: Unlock early — Capybara is essential for Giraffe breeding.
• Savanna: Elephant is needed for the Toad breed combo. Lion and Zebra make excellent mounts.
• Desert: Use a Sandstorm Totem and a lasso with 1400+ power to catch Basilisk.
• Snow Biome: Save Blizzard Totems specifically to farm Yeti — it only spawns during Blizzard weather.
• Ocean: Kraken only spawns during Tsunami weather. Great White Shark requires an Epic lasso.
• Prehistoric Zone: Triceratops has the highest Epic BPS at 114 — worth farming aggressively.
• Mountain: Red Panda is a core ingredient for both Galaxy Kitsune and Galaxy Axolotl.
• Underground: Axolotl is a core ingredient for all major Mythic breeding chains.
• Volcano: Volcanic mutation makes pets passively drop Legendary Lucky Blocks — very valuable passive income boost.
• Sky Island: Cosmic Griffin is required for Celestial Griffin and Celestial Hydra. Prioritize Cosmic Shower weather.
• Dragon Island (Update 15): Requires a fast mount or portal to reach. Lightning Dragon is needed for Hydra breed.

1.3 Forgotten Depths: Key & 5 Shapes Puzzle

Forgotten Depths ($8M) contains Cerberus and a hidden puzzle to unlock the Baby Monkey.

Getting the Key:

1. Enter Forgotten Depths.
2. Go underwater.
3. Find a Clownfish carrying a large key in its mouth.
4. Catch it with any lasso.
5. The key appears in your inventory.
6. Use the key on the hatch near the monkey cage.

5 Shape Locations (Baby Monkey unlock):

Collecting all 5 shapes opens the Baby Monkey cage automatically.

1. Update 16 — Bloodmoon

Released: March 8, 2026

1.1 What's New in Update 16

• Bloodmoon Weather Event: New server-wide weather where Bloodmoon Grapes spawn across the map. Feed Grapes to pets for a chance at the Bloodbound mutation (2.5×).
• Boss Hydra: A powerful boss pet that spawns during Bloodmoon. Requires 2 or more players working together to catch.
• Bloodmoon Spin Wheel: Daily reward spin wheel active during Bloodmoon events.
• Mutation Diffuser: New building costing $500,000. Allows selective removal of a single mutation from a pet. Useful for removing low-value mutations (Seabound 1.1×, Skeletal 1.1×) before applying a better one.
• New Forgotten Depths Pets: Several new animals added to the $8,000,000 Forgotten Depths biome.
• Launch Codes: UPDATE16 (1× Bone, 3× Steak) and MOONRISES (5× Steak, 2× Bloodmoon Grape).

1.2 Mutation Diffuser Details

• Cost: $500,000
• Location: Buildings section of the Lassos and Food Shop
• How to use: Place in pen, walk up, select pet, choose which mutation to remove, pay the fee.
• Important: You cannot re-apply a removed mutation. Only remove a mutation if you have a better one actively available to apply.

1. Breeding System

Breeding combines two compatible animals to produce an egg that has a percentage chance to hatch into a new, usually rarer pet. Breeding is entirely RNG-based — success is never guaranteed even with the right pair.

1.1 How Breeding Works (Step by Step)

1. Press 2 to open the pet menu.
2. Select two pets that are not on breeding cooldown (check the timer icon).
3. Click the Breed button.
4. Wait for the egg timer to complete.
5. Collect the egg and place it in a Nursery (hatches faster) or your Pen to hatch.

Alternatively, use the Heart item in your inventory to select two pets to breed.

1.2 Key Breeding Mechanics

• Both parents go on cooldown after breeding — they cannot breed again until the cooldown expires.
• Eggs have a percentage chance of containing the target rare pet — even high-tier recipes can require many attempts.
• Mythic-tier recipes carry a 0.3% success rate — statistically you could need 300+ attempts.
• Rare/Epic recipes have 6–9% success rates, making them much more accessible for learning the system.

1.3 Boosting Egg Quality

• Aurora Borealis weather (300% Luck Boost): Best time to open all saved eggs.
• Fresh server join (5× luck bonus): Open eggs immediately after joining a new server.
• Twin Eggs trait: Pets produce two eggs per breed cycle.
• Breed Luck trait (+25%): Improves chance of higher-rarity hatches.
• Mutation Luck trait (+20%): Increases chance of mutated hatchlings.
• Nursery building: Eggs placed here hatch significantly faster than in the pen.

1.4 Chained Recipe Note

Several Mythic pets are both results and required ingredients for further recipes. Breed multiples of them before moving up the chain:

• Lynx → required for Fennec Fox
• Woolly Rhino → required for Walrus
• Hydra → required for Celestial Hydra
• Galaxy Kitsune & Galaxy Axolotl → required for Celestial Axolotl

---

10. Breeding Recipes

There are currently 31 breed-only pets in Catch and Tame. Recipes are organized below by rarity tier. Success rates decrease sharply as rarity increases: Rare (6–9%), Epic (5–6%), Legendary (3–6%), Mythic (0.3%).

Note: Some Legendary recipes have a 6% rate instead of 3% — those are marked individually below.

1.5 Rare Tier (6–9% success rate)

Notes:

• Giraffe is the easiest breed — only one Common-tier parent (Alligator).
• Toucan uses two Rare-tier parents from the Prehistoric Zone (Dodo Bird) and Savanna (Ostrich).

1.6 Epic Tier (5–6% success rate)

⚠️ Chain alert: Lynx must be bred before Fennec Fox — Lynx is a required parent and is itself breed-only. Breed extra Lynxes before attempting Fennec Fox.

⚠️ Chain alert: Unicorn must be bred before Woolly Rhino (Legendary tier below) — Unicorn is both a breed result and a required ingredient.

1.7 Legendary Tier (3–6% success rate)

⚠️ Chain alert (Woolly Rhino → Walrus): Woolly Rhino is both a breed result (Rhino + Unicorn) and a required ingredient for Walrus. Breed multiple Woolly Rhinos before attempting Walrus.

Notable mid-game target: Snow Wolf (Wolf + Snow Leopard) — accessible ingredients, strong income for Legendary tier.

1.8 Mythic Tier (0.3% success rate — long-term endgame)

⚠️ Lunar Penguin: Seal (Epic) + Tiger (Epic) → Lunar Penguin. Rarity and exact success rate unconfirmed but noted in-game as a Breeding Hint.

All Breed-Only Pets Listed (31 total from in-game Breeding Hints): Panda, Giraffe, Toucan, Sea Horse, Snow Leopard, Lunar Penguin, Lynx, Sabertooth Tiger, Fennec Fox, Unicorn, Cape Buffalo, Tortoise, White Lion, Black Cat, Lemur, Snow Wolf, Galaxy Gecko, Prismatic Octopus, Gorilla, Kraken JR, Walrus, Woolly Rhino, Fat Panda, Beetle Golem, Cyclops Fox, Galaxy Axolotl, Hydra, Celestial Griffin, Celestial Axolotl, Galaxy Kitsune, Celestial Hydra.

1.9 The Elite 26 Strategy (Endgame Breeding)

Optimized breeding setup to mass-produce Mythic eggs:

• 13× Red Panda — Core ingredient for both Galaxy Kitsune and Galaxy Axolotl
• 6× Axolotl — Pairs with Red Panda → Galaxy Axolotl
• 7× Kitsune — Pairs with Red Panda → Galaxy Kitsune

Mass-produce Galaxy Kitsune and Galaxy Axolotl → chain into Celestial Axolotl → ultimately Celestial Hydra (250 BPS).

1.10 Celestial Hydra Chain (Full Path)

Red Panda (Mythic) + Kitsune (Mythic) → Galaxy Kitsune (0.3%)
Red Panda (Mythic) + Axolotl (Mythic) → Galaxy Axolotl (0.3%)
Galaxy Kitsune (Mythic) + Galaxy Axolotl (Mythic) → Celestial Axolotl (0.3%) [150 BPS]

Griffin (Legendary) + Cosmic Griffin (Legendary) → Celestial Griffin (0.3%) [120 BPS]
Lightning Dragon (Mythic) + Cerberus (Mythic) → Hydra (0.3%) [180 BPS]
Hydra (Mythic) + Cosmic Griffin (Legendary) → Celestial Hydra (0.3%) [250 BPS — top breed pet]

Each step carries a 0.3% success rate. Stock up parent animals before attempting any step in the chain.

Biomes needed for the full chain:

• Mountain ($750K) → Red Panda
• Underground ($750K) → Axolotl
• Mystical Zone ($1.5M) → Kitsune
• Sky Island ($2M) → Griffin, Cosmic Griffin
• Dragon Island ($5M) → Lightning Dragon
• Forgotten Depths ($8M) → Cerberus

1.11 General Breeding Tips

• Breed in bulk — catch multiple copies of each parent before attempting any recipe.
• Start with Rare and Epic tiers (6–9% success rates) to learn the system.
• Prioritize chained recipes — breed extras of intermediate results before moving up.
• Track your attempts — keep a rough count to gauge variance vs. bad luck.
• For the cheapest Legendary recipe: Alligator (Common) + Capybara → Giraffe.

1. Controls

Catching mechanics: Aim at an animal and hold until the capture bar fills completely. Common-tier animals take about 2–3 seconds; rarer animals require longer hold times and better lassos.

---

1. Items: Food, Totems & Consumables

Items include food for feeding pets, bait for luring specific animals, Lucky Blocks, Weather Totems, and machine consumables.

1.1 Food Types

There are 6 types of food ranging from Common to Legendary rarity:

Tip: Carry at least 10 Bones when farming Forest Wolf for consistent results. Use Steak on your highest-BPS animals first to maximize income gain per item used.

1.2 Lucky Blocks

Random reward consumables that give a variety of items when opened.

• Volcanic-mutated pets randomly drop Legendary Lucky Blocks passively — apply Volcanic mutation to at least one high-value pen pet.
• During Admin Cloud weather, Lucky Block drop rates are dramatically increased.
• Bloodmoon Lucky Blocks have fixed reward pools — Aurora Borealis does not affect them.
• Stack Lucky Blocks and open all of them in a single Aurora Borealis session for best results.

1.3 Weather Totems

Used to trigger specific weather events. If the activation roll fails, the Totem is not consumed.

---

1. Lassos

Lassos define which animals you can catch. There are currently 13 lassos in the game, ranked from D (weakest) to S (best). Upgrade when your current route can fund the next tier and when it unlocks multiple new profitable targets.

1.1 When to Upgrade

• Upgrade when catches start slowing down.
• More power and safer range matter most once new biomes put tougher animals in front of you.
• The best upgrade is the one that opens multiple profitable targets, not just one rare showcase pet.

1.2 All 13 Lassos

Tips:

• For power: Trident Lasso and Night Veil Lasso (rank S, power 10) are the strongest.
• For range: Bone Lasso (40 range) reaches the farthest.
• Sunforge Lasso is a strong all-rounder for mid-to-late game.
• Basilisk requires 1400+ power and Sandstorm weather to catch.

---

1. Mutations

Mutations are permanent BPS multipliers applied to individual animals. A pet can have multiple mutations stacked together. There are currently 17 mutations in three categories: wild spawn, weather, and event.

1.1 How Mutations Work

• Formula: BPS = Base BPS × Mutation Multiplier(s)
• Mutations stack multiplicatively.
• Three sources: wild animal spawns, weather events, and special event items.
• Use the Mutation Diffuser (Update 16, costs $500,000) to remove an unwanted low-value mutation before replacing it with a better one.

1.2 All 17 Mutations Ranked by Multiplier

1.3 Mutation Stacking Examples

1.4 How to Get the Best Mutations

• Shiny (4×): Spawns randomly in the wild. Boost odds with Aurora Borealis (300% Luck) and fresh server join (5× luck). Mutation Luck trait helps.
• Bloodbound (2.5×): Bloodmoon weather — collect Bloodmoon Grapes from the map and feed to any pet.
• Wild mutations (Neon, Glass, Rainbow, Gold, Albino): Join a new server and immediately check spawns; the 5× new-server luck bonus applies.

1.5 Tips

• Never remove Shiny (4×), Neon (3.5×), Rainbow (2.5×), or Bloodbound (2.5×) — these are the best mutations.
• Use the Mutation Diffuser to remove low-value weather mutations (Seabound 1.1×, Skeletal 1.1×) before a Bloodmoon or Cosmic Shower event to free up the slot for a better mutation.
• You cannot re-apply a removed mutation — only remove it if you have a better mutation actively available to apply.

1.6 Mutation Diffuser

Added in Update 16. Costs $500,000. Located in the Buildings section of the Lassos and Food Shop. Place in your pen, select the pet, and choose which mutation to remove (costs in-game money per use).

1. Game Overview

Catch and Tame is a Roblox idle-tycoon and exploration collectathon developed by Manta Games. Players use lassos to catch wild animals across 17 distinct biomes, place them in pens to generate passive income measured in BPS (Bucks Per Second), breed them to create rare hybrids, and apply mutations to multiply their earnings.

Core gameplay loop:

1. Catch animals using a lasso
2. Bring them to your pen to generate passive income
3. Feed them to increase their weight (and BPS)
4. Breed compatible pairs for rarer offspring
5. Apply mutations to multiply BPS
6. Unlock new biomes and stronger lassos
7. Repeat with increasingly valuable animals

Key game systems:

• BPS (Bucks Per Second): Passive income generated by each animal in your pen. Can be multiplied by mutations and the Money Boost trait.
• Mutations: Permanent stat modifiers (up to 4× multiplier) obtained from wild spawns, weather events, and items.
• Traits: Bonuses applied via the Trait Machine that improve income, breeding output, hatch speed, or enable riding.
• Breeding: Combining two specific animals produces an egg that has a chance to hatch into a rarer hybrid pet.
• Weather Events: Special server-wide conditions that alter spawn rates, apply mutations to pen pets, and create exclusive catch windows.
• Mounts: Several animals can serve as rideable mounts via the Rideable trait or natural mount capability.

Game availability: Free to play on PC, mobile (iOS and Android), and Xbox via the Roblox app.

1. Pen Optimization

Your pen is the core income source. Optimizing your pen layout and animal selection directly impacts your BPS curve.

1.1 Pen Layout Principles

• Separate income pets from breeding candidates to track each role clearly.
• Group pets by role: high-BPS income generators vs. breeding parents vs. mutation targets.
• Track income per slot — every slot should justify itself.
• Retire low-yield pets aggressively — replace underperformers when better options become available.

1.2 ROI Tracking

• Compare each pet's BPS contribution vs. the best available alternative.
• If a pet underperforms, sell it and keep your average slot income rising.
• Review pen composition after every major update or when top capture targets change.

1.3 Offline Income

The game supports offline income — animals in your pen continue to generate BPS while you are not playing. Hatch Speed and Mutation Luck traits also work passively while offline.

1.4 Pen Expansion

Collect income to expand your pen fence and accommodate more pets. Early priority should be expanding the pen at least 4 times before focusing on specialized tools.

---

1. Trading

Animals can be traded between players directly in-game. Higher rarity animals and good mutations make trades more valuable.

Trading tips:

• Rarer animals with strong mutations command higher trade value.
• There is no official value list yet — know what you are giving up before confirming a trade.
• Avoid trades that feel rushed or pressured; scammers often use urgency tactics.
• Exclusive pets (from Admin Abuse events) are extremely valuable.

---

1. Trait Machine & Traits

The Trait Machine is a buildable machine that applies permanent bonus traits to a selected pet at the cost of sacrificing other pets. It costs $1,000,000 from the Buildings section of the Lassos and Food Shop.

1.1 How to Use the Trait Machine

1. Purchase the Trait Machine for $1,000,000 from the Buildings shop.
2. Place the machine from your Build Inventory into your Pen.
3. Walk up and interact with the machine.
4. Select 1 primary pet — this pet receives the rolled trait.
5. Select 3 to 10 sacrifice pets — these are permanently destroyed.
6. Click the green button — result is instant.
7. A pet can hold up to 3 traits. Re-rolling removes ALL current traits.

1.2 Sacrifice Rarity Luck Boosts

Higher rarity sacrifices improve the chance of getting rare traits. Fill all 10 slots for maximum luck.

1.3 All 6 Traits

1.4 Best Trait Combos

• Maximum income: Money Boost + Twin Eggs + Breed Luck on Mythic breeders.
• Breeding efficiency: Twin Eggs + Breed Luck + Mutation Luck.
• Travel: Rideable on fast Legendaries like Yeti, Pegasus, or Lightning Dragon.

1.5 Tips

• Always fill all 10 sacrifice slots for the maximum luck multiplier.
• Use Mythic pets as sacrifices for the best 1500% luck boost per slot.
• Re-rolling removes ALL current traits — only re-roll if you got a bad result.
• Hatch Speed and Mutation Luck are passive bonuses that work even when offline.

---

1. Weather Events

Weather events are server-wide conditions that temporarily alter gameplay: spawning exclusive animals, applying mutations to pen pets, and creating limited farming windows. There are 14 weather types in total.

1.1 How Weather Works

• Most weather events last approximately 10 minutes.
• Weather can occur naturally/randomly or be triggered with Weather Totems.
• Weather Totems have a roll chance (e.g., Rain Totem 50%, Cosmic Totem 2%). If the roll fails, the Totem is not consumed.

1.2 All 14 Weather Events

1.3 Weather Strategy

• Aurora Borealis (300% Luck): Save all accumulated eggs to open during this event. Best weather in the game for hatching and catching.
• Bloodmoon: Collect all Bloodmoon Grapes immediately and feed to your highest-BPS pets for Bloodbound (2.5×).
• Cosmic Shower: Trigger with Cosmic Totem. Collect Cosmic Fruits and aim for Cosmic mutation (1.5×) on top pets.
• Blizzard: Use specifically to farm Yeti — it only spawns during this event.
• Sandstorm: Required to access Basilisk and Griffin on their respective biomes.
• Thunderstorm: Required for Lightning Dragon spawns on Dragon Island.

1.4 How to Get Weather Totems

• Daily Login rewards (Day 5, Day 7 milestones)
• Exclusive Shop (Robux)
• Traveling Merchant (rotating stock)
• Lucky Blocks

Save Totems for Cosmic Shower or Aurora Borealis — those two events provide the most endgame value.

1.5 Skeleton Event (Special Recurring Event)

The Skeleton Event is a special server-wide event that occurs every 60 minutes and lasts 20 minutes. During this event, the island is covered in mist and graves appear on the ground.

Features:

• 12 new Skeleton-themed animals available to catch
• Skeleton Mutation Machine (place pets to receive Skeletal mutation)
• Skeleton Index with completion rewards (new structures that generate money or increase mutation chances)
• Skeleton Egg reward every 30 minutes
• Skeleton animals can receive the Skeletal mutation from the Mutation Machine
